La Jolla Real Estate - Oceanfront Homes and Condos

Southern California is the American Riviera making La Jolla it's crowning jewel.  A seaside resort community of San Diego California, La Jolla is known for beaches, fine dining, shopping and luxury living.  La Jolla is one of Southern California's most desirable communities with breathtaking views! 

 It is no wonder with all that La Jolla California has to offer that the likes of Gregory Peck, Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Raquel Welch have all called La Jolla home.  Isn't it time you called La Jolla home too?

Home theatre systems are becoming a standard requirements with many Luxury La Jolla home buyers.  But we have a twist on this trend, take it outdoors instead of a room in your La Jolla Luxury home.  The whole concept of backyard entertainment all started with the Princess Cruise Lines: Movie Under the Stars when plasma televisions were placed on the outside of the ship for everyone to watch their favorite movie or TV show while enjoying their favorite cocktail or activity. 

This was a big hit, people loved it and the trend has expanded onto other ships as well.  Now you can take that idea and apply it to your La Jolla yard with your very own private outdoor theatre.  You can have a quiet evening at home and under stars with a few friends and watch a movie in the privacy of your backyard or a elegant private party for you and family members. 

Just think!  You will be the La Jolla Home everyone wants!

Cal Spas has just what you need!  The highlight is a complete home theater system with a 63-inch LCD flat panel HDTV, surround sound, iPod docking station, Sirius satellite radio, and hookups for gaming consoles.

Also on board for the party are:

• a five-burner BBQ grill
• a wet bar,
• weatherproof recliners with cup holders 
• two fire pits

On top of that, the theater system is built to marine grade specifications for protection from the elements.  All of your needs for your La Jolla backyard in one place.  No more  worrying about the kids not sitting down to eat dinner without being able to watch TV.  

 And while youre at it, why not add on one of Cal Spas hot tubs to round out your backyard paradise in La Jolla California?

Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaJolla California home!  Now that we have the contract signed and we have a closing date you have some important planning to do!  And we are not talking about your move...We are talking about your La Jolla House Warming Party! 

This is one of the best ways to introduce yourself to the neighbors!  What exactly makes for an exceptional House Warming Party?  Well there are some basic things you can do to ensure that your party will have your neighbors in La Jolla talking about your party for the years to come. 

Let's start with the what will set the tone for the party -- your party theme!  The most important thing you have to decide is the theme of your party, this will determine the food, drink, date and time for the party.  Here are a few ideas for your La Jolla House Warming Party:

• Try having a Martini Bar with trendy Sushi
• A classic Sunday Brunch with Mimosas, Bloody Mary's, Quiche, bagels and fresh fruit
• Try something different and invite your neighbors over for Dessert and Expresso
• Then there is the classic Wine Tasting, traditional BBQ or Mexican Fiesta
• Want to just meet the ladies of your La Jolla neighborhood?  How about an English Tea Party or is it close to Christmas -- how about a cookie exchange lunch?
• From another area of the world?  Think of the fun you could have if you are from Philadephia, New York City, Paris, Berlin, Chicago or Dallas!

Keep the party time scheduled short, if people stay longer that is great, but there is nothing more awkward than dead spots in your party.  Set your tone of your party with the invitation to your La Jolla neighbors.  Once you have your theme remember to keep your La Jolla House Warming Party simple and easy for yourself.  Do as much of the prep work ahead of time.  Relax and have a wonderful time getting to know your La Jolla neighbors.
